Synthesis of Co-doped MoS2 monolayers with enhanced valley splitting by Zhou, Jiadong, Lin, Junhao, Sims, Hunter, Jiang, Chongyun, Cong, Chunxiao, Brehm, John A., Zhang, Zhaowei, Niu, Lin, Chen, Yu, Zhou, Yao, Wang, Yanlong, Liu, Fucai, Zhu, Chao, Yu, Ting, Suenaga, Kazu, Mishra, Rohan, Pantelides, Sokrates T., Zhu, Zhen-Gang, Gao, Weibo, Liu, Zheng, Zhou, Wu

“…Density functional theory (DFT) and model calculations reveal that the observed enhanced VZS arises from an internal magnetic field induced by the tridopant clusters, which couples to the spin, atomic orbital, and valley magnetic moment of carriers from the conduction and valence bands. …”

Nonlinear polariton parametric emission in an atomically thin semiconductor based microcavity by Zhao, Jiaxin, Fieramosca, Antonio, Bao, Ruiqi, Du, Wei, Dini, Kevin, Su, Rui, Feng, Jiangang, Luo, Yuan, Sanvitto, Daniele, Liew, Timothy Chi Hin, Xiong, Qihua

“…Recently, two-dimensional transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have attracted great attention in strong light–matter interactions due to robust excitonic transitions and unique spin-valley degrees of freedom. However, further progress is hindered by the lack of realizations of strong nonlinear effects in TMD polaritons. …”

Induction of z-conformation in ribosomal RNA by Z-DNA binding domain Zα of the human double-stranded RNA deaminase I (ADAR1) by Zhao, Jing

“…In order to provide theoretical foundations for the analysis of NMR spectral responses of ZαADAR1 to ribosomes we attempted to extend the conventional NMR relaxation theory to include a semi solid-state treatment of nuclear spin dynamics in large complexes. The main challenge to the classical NMR theory arises when one of the binding partners is so large that in the chemical shift time scale of solution NMR (milliseconds) it can be considered as practically static or solid-state-like. …”

Effect of different lead precursors on planar perovskite solar cells by Martin

“…The hydrate water inside the lead acetate precursor has no bad effect on the perovskite formation. 3. Increasing the spin coat speed (to 3000rpm for 30 seconds) can improve the uniformity of perovskite film and further current density of solar cells. 4. …”

Public bus transit service modeling and optimization: from conventional to autonomous vehicles by Tian, Qingyun

“…In the first part, this thesis proposes a novel tri-level model for a transit service operation design problem that primarily determines the optimal bus line frequency setting. Unlike the existing studies, the strategy choices of passengers in presence of congested common lines are explicitly considered. …”

A comparative analysis of ENCODE and Cistrome in the context of TF binding signal by Perna, Stefano, Pinoli, Pietro, Ceri, Stefano, Wong, Limsoon

“…Results: We provide evidence that data points with high signalValue(s) (top 25% of values) are more likely to be consistent between ENCODE and Cistrome in human cell lines K562, GM12878, and HepG2. In addition, we show that filtering according to said high values improves the quality of predictions for a machine learning algorithm that detects transcription factor interactions based only on positional information. …”

Anti-leukaemic and chemotherapy supportive effects of berberis vulgaris l. Fruit crude extract on in vitro and in vivo models by Saedi, Tayebeh Azam

“…For the in vitro method, cytotoxic effects of BVFCE were evaluated using MTT assay to determine the IC50 values and compare with non-leukaemic cell line (The 3T3 cell). Observation of the morphological changes in the treated leukaemic cell lines with BVFCE and Doxorubicin (Doxo) was examined using inverted microscope. …”
